In this funny, uncannily wise portrait of the dynamics of a sixth-grade class and of the greatness that sometimes comes in unlikely packages, Dwight, a loser, talks to his classmates via an origami finger puppet of Yoda. If that weren’t strange enough, the puppet is uncannily wise and prescient. Origami Yoda predicts the date of a pop quiz, guesses who stole the classroom Shakespeare bust, and saves a classmate from popularity-crushing embarrassment with some well-timed advice. Dwight’s classmate Tommy wonders how Yoda can be so smart when Dwight himself is so clueless. With contributions from his puzzled classmates, Tommy assembles this first case file in the blockbuster bestselling Origami Yoda series, written by Tom Angleberger, author of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side, and hailed by School Library Journal as “honest, funny, and immensely entertaining.”

This book is awesome

i love this book. its really funny and i recommend it to anyone who likes star wars. its totally stooky!!!

I loved this twist on Star Wars!

This is an amazing book/series by Mr. Angleberger. I love that it is a school story, and how the layout is. It is fun to read, and to talk about with my siblings. We're always quoting from it. And, the origami instructions aren't too hard, I've made a couple that aren't too bad. Overall, it's a great book. So, go to your library and either check it out or request it, then read it! :)

Very magical book. Origami yoda seemed more then just being a origami figure. Origami yoda is questioned by a lot of students after the fun night dance. Origami yoda is questioned if he can actually see the future. Dwight is vey clueless and yoda is very smart. Harvey thinks yoda is just a paperwad. At the end of the book Tommy danced with the girl of his dream and Harvey was confused. Dwight himself finally showed the way of origami yoda that Tommy always wanted to know how to make yoda.

Origami Yoda is the 2nd book I have gotten from this series and I really like it! (Even though they say Dwight is weird!)

this book is very funny and cool because I like star wars and Yoda is one of my favorite movies and the story is about a boy named Dwight and he had some sort of orgami Yoda that can give advice then people started to asking things like what they do with a problem or if somebody likes them or not. you should read this book because its very funny!!!!!!!!!!!
